ColorChallenge - Thursday Green: Beautiful Hawaii

![200.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTJ1U4qfQEVRvW5eh8A7xAManuQnw8uU6juiQMii88p2q/200.jpg)

Today, my daughter and I went to the Wahiawa Botanical Garden in Central Oahu, Hawaii to commune with nature and to get some exercise. While strolling through this beautiful park, we were able to take some wonderful pictures of Hawaiian vegetation. The above picture was taken for today's Color Challenge: Thursday Green

The Wahiawa Botanical Garden is a 27 acre garden that resides on a high plateau in Central Oahu. This site began in 1920 when the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association leased this land to grow experimental trees. Most of the trees in this garden can be dated back to this time. Then in 1950 this property was transferred to the County of Honolulu. Eventually in 1957, the park opened its doors as a botanical garden. Ever since then, more and more local plants were introduced to expand the vegetation in this garden.

This beautiful Wahiawa Botanical Garden is free for visitors and can be used to take a leisurely walk or sit in a quite and shady bench to meditate or do leisurely activities like reading. This is actually a hidden gem on the Island of Oahu because there are rarely crowds and the ambience is quiet and peaceful. We had a very relaxing and stress free day!

I hope you enjoyed this post about one of Hawaii's beautiful parks. I thank-you for visiting my post. As we do in Hawaii, I send you a warm ALOHA!

All pictures were taken by me except the Image credited one.

I liked the first piece of pictures very much.
Considering the history of the park, do the trees be nearly 100 years old?
I feel a wonderful life force.Thanks for sharing.

Yes, most of the trees are very old.  It is a very peaceful place which I love since now a days, everything is rush, rush.  Hawaii has a rich history of the Japanese coming to work on the sugar cane fields.  There is a strong presence of Japanese history in Hawaii and it is wonderful how Japanese ways influenced many foods, customs, and culture here.
